The Metamorphosis of a Prime Intellect.

Everclear

Apparently: Them playing our local city square, doing a terrible performance, acting like prima donnas, and then after inviting people to come see them at the merch booth after the show, then never showing up.

TBF, that’s how I robbed Chase Bank last week.

It’s the lead that makes it slightly sweet.

Reminds me of that subtle joke that I love but nobody else ever seems to get: Well, I defended my thesis in comparative literature, but it seems like he’s got a pretty healthy pulse to me…

I call her by her full name: Rosie the Roomba

Little known fact: he went by “Hot Rod”.

I often will do this. At the end of writing a comment I ask myself “is my desire to comment satisfied by writing this comment, is it more about me writing it than other people reading it, is the response to the comment more likely to bring bain than joy?” The answers often lead me to just closing the comment page rather than posting it, and I feel fine about that.

Another way of looking at it: Lemmy is retaining the engagement of the vast majority of new users who have joined recently.

Hackers, absolute gold! People like to crap all over it because it’s not realistic, but the vibe of it really fits the hacking scene. Another similar movie, that has some pretty cool hacking vibe, but people also crap all over is Swordfish, 26% tomatoes, 59% audience.

My pupper really hates boopers, it’s quite sad. She’ll turn her head when she sees one incoming.

All over the map, but ~7 years ago when I moved into my new house I bought a set of Porter Cable cordless 20V that has served me well. DeWalt table saw and drywall screw gun, Hitachi and Makita nail guns. Bosch router and sander. Old school Milwaukee sawzall. Old American made Craftsman socket set. Makita compressor.

The big issue with the PC is that they just don’t have a very big tool eco-system.

I got the Porter Cable because I previously had a small set of DeWalt tools and felt like I under utilized them over 20 years. So instead of going contractor grade I went more prosumer. In retrospect I wish I’d bought Milwaukee, because I’ve used the hell out of the PC, but they’ve served me well.

Also worth remembering: The Apollo guidance computer had less compute power than a USB charger. That thing sent us to the moon. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a30916315/usb-c-charger-apollo-11-computer/

This is the weirdest attempt to get my website security question answers… But… Slackware on floppies.

2023, the year July never ended?

You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.

Sure, I have no love of Meta either, which is why I would love for people to have an easy escape hatch via the Fediverse…

You probably aren’t wrong about it being overly idealistic and optimistic. :-(

That’s an interesting point, one of the reasons I chose lemmy.world was that it wasn’t ban-happy.
